    Dancing in the Dark Lyrics – Bruce Springsteen

    [Verse 1]
    I get up in the evening
    And I ain’t got nothing to say
    I come home in the morning
    I go to bed feeling the same way
    I ain’t nothing but tired
    Man, I’m just tired and bored with myself
    Hey there, baby
    I could use just a little help

    [Chorus]
    You can’t start a fire
    You can’t start a fire without a spark
    This gun’s for hire
    Even if we’re just dancing in the dark

    [Verse 2]
    Messages keep getting clearer
    Radio’s on, and I’m moving ’round my place
    I check my look in the mirror
    I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
    Man, I ain’t getting nowhere
    I’m just living in a dump like this
    There’s something happening somewhere
    Baby, I just know that there is
    [Chorus]
    You can’t start a fire
    You can’t start a fire without a spark
    This gun’s for hire
    Even if we’re just dancing in the dark

    [Bridge]
    You sit around getting older
    There’s a joke here somewhere, and it’s on me
    I’ll shake this world off my shoulders
    Come on, baby, the laugh’s on me

    [Verse 3]
    Stay on the streets of this town
    And they’ll be carving you up all right
    They say, “You gotta stay hungry”
    Hey, baby, I’m just about starving tonight
    I’m dying for some action
    I’m sick of sitting around here trying to write this book
    I need a love reaction
    Come on now, baby, give me just one look

    [Chorus]
    You can’t start a fire
    Sitting ’round crying over a broken heart
    This gun’s for hire
    Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
    You can’t start a fire
    Worrying about your little world falling apart
    This gun’s for hire
    Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
    [Outro]
    Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
    Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
    Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
    Hey, baby

    [Outro Saxophone Solo]
